This role reports to the Director, Automation Engineering. This is an onsite role based in our Brisbane, California headquarters. Responsibilities include working directly with project teams to define project requirements, setting timelines, and establishing acceptance criteria; creating and optimizing liquid handling and robotic methods to replace manual operations, establish scientific feasibility, and improve product performance; collaborating with support and scientific teams to minimize downtime and proactively address challenges in the lab; understanding the impact of each method on the laboratory workflow, identifying improvements and effectively communicating proposals cross-functionally; providing troubleshooting and investigation support for clinical lab and R&D processes and identifying systematic preventive actions as needed; supporting execution of sample processing in a regulated clinical lab setting using automated liquid handlers and integrated robotic workcells; innovating to solve new and challenging problems in a high pace team oriented environment; maintaining a focus on quality and communication to build trust and collaboration with cross-functional teams. Requirements include a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering, biochemistry, or a related scientific field; 5+ years of laboratory experience in the life sciences, especially in high throughput labs; experience with one or more liquid handling or automation scheduling software with a preference for Hamilton Venus, Agilent VWorks/Bravo, and Thermo Momentum; demonstrated ability to work successfully and collaboratively in a cross-functional team specifically with a R&D team; familiarity with genomic/molecular biology workflows; functional knowledge in experimental design, bench execution, process documentation, and data analysis; experience working with a broad set of instruments; critical thinking, attention to detail, and ability to address problems systematically and drive to resolution. Preferred qualifications include direct experience with NGS workflows and lab processes; experience with integrated robotic workcells; experience reviewing and applying scientific data to drive automation improvements; experience planning and executing validation studies for automated methods; experience working in a regulated environment (CLIA / CAP / NYS / FDA / GCLP / cGMP) is strongly preferred. The US target salary range for new hires is $104,975 - $159,500, with eligibility for pre-IPO equity, cash bonuses, and a full range of medical, financial, and other benefits depending on the position offered.
